Slowbridge is a sleepy English town ruled by the formidable Lady Theobald, already shaken by the arrival of new mills. Then Octavia Bassett, the pretty, outspoken, fashionably dressed daughter of a Nevada mining man, arrives to stay with her timid aunt, and the town’s notions of propriety, money and manners are tested.
A light, charming comedy of manners from the author of Little Lord Fauntleroy and The Secret Garden. Download the free EPUB.
